How it's paid for isn't as important than the actions that people choose. Right now I'm listening to https://youtu.be/QwhfZvTmCqI The Magic School Bus | In Depth.

A pretty good episode. They cherry-picked this out of the Green New Deal.
If Fisher raised the capital to create their industry in capital markets,they would have paid three times what it would have cost the US Government.So it is important to consumers,and bears strongly on net personal wealth.
Capitalism has failed with transportation,education,utilities,healthcare,infr astructure,retirement security,and others.Historically,these industries which when privatized failed,only to be re-nationalized.
